Daniel Craig insists he won't leave his £125 million fortune to his children and plans to 'get rid of it or give it away

Mr. Craig, sir. You are the best actor in the history of filmmaking and probably the greatest human being alive. My bank account and routing number are as follows: 3486485975 / 0113548. Thank you and god bless!

I think leaving nothing to your kids (like literally nothing at all) is going a bit far. I understand the dislike of spoiled children just inheriting and then squandering wealth, but the thing is: either these kids are going to be responsible and philanthropic or not. This will (usually) be determined long before their parents die. The lessons taught to children while they're growing up will determine whether inheritance would be used for a good, beneficent purpose, or wasted on frivolity. In other words: preventing your children from inheriting your wealth does not make them better people. Giving all your money away to help people is a noble idea, but what if you've got three kids and you're splitting your money up to help various numbers of people. Why not help your three kids? If they don't need it, sure, but what if they do? You'll really leave your own family high and dry?

If the general point is that it's disgusting for one portion of a population to thrive while another portion can't make it without help, then the question really should be: why does he have a one-hundred and twenty-five million pound fortune at all? It should *never* get that high. He should keep enough in the bank to keep a roof over his head and food in his refrigerator, and then every eighteen-million pound paycheque he gets should be used to create a brand new scholarship or charitable fund.

Can I have some Dani..er Mr Craig?..say.. idk..nothing too much ..just like a million? ..nothing too much . thanks in advance

The article does not mention that both his daughters have Down syndrome.

It´s an interesting topic. I can see both sides of the argument for leaving behind large inheritances to families.

What a di**

I wonder what urged him to share this information with the world? To be honest it makes him sound douchey.
Anyway he's probably going to live to be a very old man. Say he lives another 40 years. By that time his kids should have made enough money on their own to the point where they won't need his money. I'm of the opinion that you should hook your kids up when they need it the most like right after they graduate or move out. I wish my wealthy parents did that for me. Eventually I did become successful, but it would have been nice not to have struggled so much.
